Become a linguist, or given your interest in
ancient/extinct languages, a comparative
philologist (not that that field is rife with job
opportunities IME... :-/).

Since you are apparently in Austria and probably
German-speaking Google for "vergleichende
Sprachwissenschaft" and/or look up that term on
the German Wikipedia -- as we all know: if an
article exists on the German WP it is usually
better than its German counterpart.  Just take
care not to mix in your conlanging in your
official philology. (The other way around is OTOH
yummy! :-)
